He looks into the interest of running group process with adolescents. Jackie finds that adolescence is a stage which is most sensitive physically and emotionally and often being targeted but less likely to be supported. His warm personality yet drawing clear boundaries makes his work with adolescents stays objective. Jackie sees that adolescents are facing too much pressure especially growing up in the era of globalization, industrial revolution 4.0 and moving into society 5.0. They are either being given too much expectations or too little attention in their daily routines.

Hence, he developed a comprehensive health module that focuses on sex education that is suitable for both adolescents and parents. Jackie has prior experience dealing with multiple sexual issues as well as addiction issues with university youths and working young adults. He is also seeing individual clients and in progress of developing support group for adolescents.

He uses Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is currently seeking interest in Sex Therapy as well as Emotional Focused Therapy. He was professionally trained by skilled supervisors during his practicum and internship at multiple NGOs, clinics, schools and university.

Jackie practices a strong and professional ethics in his work. He does not compromise any malpractices in the boundaries of his professional work to secure his clients’ wellbeing as a priority. Jackie believes that practitioners can be both objective and subjective as well as being true genuine self without having to change based on expectations in order to please anyone yet staying in professional position especially working in different settings dealing with different clients.

In addition, he is equipped with knowledge of counselling within the justice system, insurance in mental health and a certified clinical supervisor by Lembaga Kaunselor Malaysia.

His biggest strength is in multicultural counselling as he grew up in a multi-racial and multi-religious family. He is well versed in the major religion and stays objective in his counselling with his clients that require religion in their sessions. The social diversity and multicultural counselling is one of the hardest yet honest to achieve thus far. Besides, Jackie's health issues had allowed him to journey into psychopharmacological, psychopathological and life transitions journey that he had been seeing clients with health issues that needed a therapist who is well versed with medicine. He strongly believes that his experience in his pain could benefit his journey with his clients.
